Inform Decisions

In many organisations, managers and employees do not understand the strategy.

Managers cannot lead if they cannot articulate “where are we going” and “how will we get there”.

Managers and employees do not feel ownership for the vision and strategy. Therefore they:

  • do not support what they did not help to create
  • are not motivated to go the extra mile
  • do not see themselves as part of the organisation
  • are unable to mobile energy behind compelling vision

Leadership is ultimately accountable for strategy, but by engaging various stakeholders in the strategy crafting process, ownership and alignment is achieved and the future happens faster. Laetoli:

  • Assists with gathering information to assist strategic conversations through internal surveys, stakeholder surveys and benchmarking exercises
  • Designs and facilitates strategic planning processes/ at:
    • Organisational level
    • Business Unit level
    • Team or departmental level
  • Designs and facilitates highly engaging conversations to align a critical mass of staff behind strategy
Many organisations believe it is better for Executive and Senior leaders to communicate the strategy (often through a “top down” “telling” style) because they either believe employees should not be involved in strategy crafting or they don’t know how to actively engage large groups of employees in strategy planning processes.

With Laetoli’s approach to strategy crafting:

  • decisions and actions are taken as if the future were now, in effect blurring the line between ‘here’ and ‘there’
  • Creates a collective “image of potential” for the future, that motivates action today
  • enhances high levels of participation
  • assist with dealing with complexities and divergent views
  • leads to higher levels of commitment and ownership
  • enjoying performance benefits earlier
